1796 Pattern Light Cavalry Officer's Sabre On Hold A Central European 'Pandur' hangerA good example of a P1796 Light Cavalry Officer's Sabre. Blade shows simple but elegant markings, including the George III monogram. Features a faceted knucklebow, backpiece and ferrule. Both langets present. Comma shaped ears. All these characteristics point to an Osborn, but this is inconclusive as there are no markings. The grip is a replacement.
